Re: New Unit Showcase: Scavenger

Does GDI get a similar unit or is the trend going to continue moving forward in favor of NOD like always?

So now NOD only needs this one infantry unit, bikes, a tank, chem buggy, and Seth to win with no harvester whatsoever. 

Finally, Nod has a 2nd non-tech infantry that can shoot air (excluding the scarab, unit seems like a bomb from a catapult). Would wish GDI has another non-tech infantry that can shoot air. Might be helpful for me to try and rush out the expensive and durable tick tank. Wish GDI had a variant to this tick tank, the APC doesn't count as its an anti-infantry unit.

@Marine_CorporaII’ve always thought it was a little weird that GDI has two ranged infantry units while NOD has none. Wonder if Scavengers and Fanatics are one sided because of that?

NOD doesn’t need ranged infantry. If they want to nullify a whole infantry deck, all they need is a chem buggy. 

Maybe the scavenger could use a buff, when its abilities are affected. Instead of a 1 tile range, its a 2 tile range. If its standing next to a giga cannon and the giga cannon kills something that's within the scavenger's 2 tile range, you will get the extra resource.

I think that they are little *, who like to hang back.

It should be good to have unit that are spammable, flying or have raider, while you rely on them.

Later on, they are not a must have unit, so you can just abandon or throw them away.

They make your deck weaker agains aircrafts and anti-infantry, but you should be ok, if you can solve your problems with money.

Are scavengers supposed to take tiberium damage whilst standing on tiberium fields? I saw a replay once on where the scavenger was harvester hunting whilst it was standing on tiberium. It was slowly taking damage then moments later, a chem buggy came and eliminated the scavenger. I thought scavengers are mutants.
